[Verse 1 — Call Response]
Do you hear America sing?
—I hear her chorus on the wing
Do you see America bloom?
—I see her colors fill the room
If there is no struggle, still we rise
We stand shoulder to shoulder, side by side
[Chorus]
We are America—America is us
We hear, we see, we know in unity we trust
We live, we sing, we dream beneath the same sky’s blue
We are America—and America is you

Do you know the truth?

Do you believe we’re equal, too?

If there is no struggle, still we grow
We stand shoulder to shoulder, me and you
[Chorus]
We are America—America is us
We hear, we see, we know in unity we trust
We live, we sing, we dream beneath the same sky’s blue
We are America—and America is you

If there is no struggle, we rise above
We stand shoulder to shoulder, held by love

We are America—America is us
We hear, we see, we know in unity we trust
We live, we sing, we dream beneath the same sky’s blue
We are America—and America is you

Are you afraid of fear?
—I am
Do you know who we are?

If there is no struggle, we’ll jam the dam
We stand shoulder to shoulder—nothing less

“I hear America singing—hold these truths tonight
Of the people, by the people, hearts gather in the light
If there is no struggle, we rise and still we strive
The only thing to fear is fear—so love keeps us alive”

We are America—America is us
We hear, we see, we know in unity we trust
We live, we sing, we dream beneath the same sky’s blue
We are America—America is you
